筆者多次參加過(guò)高考作文評(píng)卷工作，在評(píng)卷的過(guò)程中，發(fā)現(xiàn)許多考生在表達(dá)方面用了較多的簡(jiǎn)單句，句型單調(diào)，缺乏連貫，毫無(wú)亮點(diǎn)。當(dāng)然，至于運(yùn)用什么樣的句式，我們建議考生要量力而行。其實(shí)，只要考生在平時(shí)稍加留意，在熟練掌握簡(jiǎn)單句的基礎(chǔ)上，巧妙地將同位語(yǔ)、介詞短語(yǔ)、分詞短語(yǔ)等融入其中，不但可以豐富表達(dá)，也令內(nèi)容精彩迭出，從而讓簡(jiǎn)單句不再“簡(jiǎn)單”。以下是讓簡(jiǎn)單句變“高級(jí)”的常用手段：

1. 將同位語(yǔ)嵌入簡(jiǎn)單句中

同位語(yǔ)的功能是對(duì)前面的名詞或代詞進(jìn)行解釋說(shuō)明?？捎猛徽Z(yǔ)來(lái)合并兩個(gè)相關(guān)的簡(jiǎn)單句，讓句子結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單明了。如：

Li Ming is our monitor. He is helpful as well as responsible.

→ Li Ming， our monitor， is helpful as well as responsible.

同時(shí)，含有定語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句，其實(shí)用含有同位語(yǔ)的簡(jiǎn)單句來(lái)表達(dá)，更簡(jiǎn)潔。如：

The other day I met Tom， who is my former classmate.

→ The other day I met Tom， my former classmate.

2. 將介詞短語(yǔ)巧置簡(jiǎn)單句句首

The boy is honest as well as modest.

→Apart from being honest， the boy is modest as well.

They chose to go out shopping rather than stay at home watching TV.

→ Rather than stay at home watching TV， they chose to go out shopping.

We have so much work to complete. We cant relax ourselves this weekend.

→With so much work to complete， we cant relax ourselves this weekend.

3. 將分詞短語(yǔ)揉入簡(jiǎn)單句中

He was lost in thought. He nearly bumped into a wall in front of him.

→Lost in thought， he nearly bumped into a wall in front of him.

She buried herself in an amusing book. She was unaware of what was happening around her.

→Burying herself in an amusing book， she was unaware of what was happening around her.

→Buried in an amusing book， she was unaware of what was happening around her.

4. 將形容詞（短語(yǔ)）插入簡(jiǎn)單句中

形容詞（短語(yǔ)）置于句首，可以充當(dāng)原因狀語(yǔ)。如：

The speaker was nervous. He was unable to utter a word on the stage.

→Nervous， the speaker was unable to utter a word on the stage.

此外，形容詞（短語(yǔ)）還可以充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，往往置于句末，用以補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)的狀態(tài)（注：也有人認(rèn)為形容詞在此充當(dāng)伴隨狀語(yǔ)）。如：

They arrived home late. They were tired and hungry.

→ They arrived home late， tired and hungry.

5. 將插入語(yǔ)融入簡(jiǎn)單句中

有時(shí)，為了強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō)話者的態(tài)度，可使用插入語(yǔ)。插入語(yǔ)可以是一個(gè)短語(yǔ)或句子，位置也比較靈活。如：

Without doubt， our team is bound to defeat theirs.

She， I suppose， is kind of shy.

Youre one of the most popular teachers in our school， to be honest with you.

除了上述提到的五種常用的手段外，其實(shí)，把簡(jiǎn)單句進(jìn)行以下的“改裝”，同樣可以取得意想不到的效果。

6. 換成感嘆句

The graduation ceremony is pretty memorable and unforgettable.

→How memorable and unforgettable the graduation ceremony is！

Mr. Wang is an extremely hard-working and easy-going teacher.

→What a hard-working and easy-going teacher Mr. Wang is！

7. 妙用倒裝句

A small garden is in front of the house.

→In front of the house is a small garden.

I realized my mistake at that moment.

→ Only at that moment did I realize my mistake.

I will always keep your practical suggestions in mind.

→ Never shall I forget your practical suggestions！

8. 善用強(qiáng)調(diào)句

Our parents took great pains to bring us up.

→It is our parents who took great pains to bring us up.

The dirty water accounted for the illness of many people.

→ It was the dirty water that accounted for the illness of many people.

9. 巧用省略句

Are you free these days？ Please pay me a visit.

→Please pay me a visit when / if free these days.

Mr. Chen is in his eighties. He is still in good health.

→Though in his eighties， Mr. Chen is in good health.
